    Indeed it is. Also, Morgia root, Moss of Mareilon, Spenseweed and Berzio potions are all from
    Infocom as well. They each have an entry in the Encyclopedia Frobozzica.

    What Ash was supposed to say was "Klaatu Borada Nikto." Of course he coughed during the delivery. What a great movie. Give me some sugar baby!

    When in darkness, you can always see the light (unless you're in ADOM)

    Most successful combos for me: Grey elf wizards, trollish healers, dark elf beast-fighters, Gnomey monks, and any race barbarians.
